A Star-studded Affair

The event was graced by the presence of notable figures, including Prime Minister Andrew Holness and his wife Juliet, who were captured engrossed in conversation with Bobby Honeyghan, the General Manager of the Urban Development Corporation. Dignitaries aside, the festival was a true family affair, with sights of Cherryl Simpson and her daughter Victoria, alongside Sasha Bent and her son Malachai, ushering in the New Year.
